Platform joins Zurich's mortgage panel
- Offering members more specialist lending choices than
ever before -
Platform, the ‘one-stop’ intermediary lender of
Britannia Building Society, is pleased to have been appointed to
the Zurich mortgage panel. Available through Zurich Advice Network
(ZAN) and Zurich Mortgage Network (ZMN) advisers, the lending panel
gives 4,000 intermediaries direct access to Platform’s improved
range of products and services launched at the beginning of the
year.
Richard Coulson, Zurich Mortgage Network Director,
commented:
"We are delighted to welcome Platform on board. With its new,
highly competitive mortgage range, Platform brings a wealth of
leading products and expertise to our panel. It also expands the
choices available to our members in terms of specialist lending and
complements the other lenders we currently work with. This latest
addition, which brings the number of members on our panel to 20, is
part of our strategy to further strengthen our lending panel ahead
of mortgage regulation in October."
Zurich’s member intermediaries will now be able to take
advantage of Platform’s extensive range of products including its
market leading bonus discounts on the Non-Conforming range,
unlimited capital raising on all remortgages and the recent
improvements to Buy to Let. Platform’s Conforming product range
(Prime, Self-Certification and Buy to Let) will be accessed via the
lender directly by Zurich members, while the Non-Conforming product
range will be offered via Enterprise Homeloans.
Guy Batchelor, Sales & Marketing Director, Platform
commented:
"We are delighted to be appointed a member of the Zurich panel.
In 2004 we aim to increase market share and relish the opportunity
to deal with the increase in business brought to us by Zurich,
which is widely perceived as one of the potential ‘winners’ in the
regulated marketplace. We have been working for some time with
Richard to make this happen and this appointment means that we are
now on almost all the major mortgage club panels. With regulation
looming, we feel that such partnerships are vital in our ability to
write volume business after Mortgage Day."
